A single loop repetitive voltage controller for a four legs matrix converter ground power unit

In this paper a repetitive control approach is proposed to regulate the output voltage of a four-leg matrix converter for an Aircraft Ground Power Supply application. The proposed controller reduces the tracking error and increases the stability of the converter compared to traditional approaches. Simulations and experimental results from a 7.5KW converter prototype are presented to verify the operation of the proposed controller.
